I currently live in the Chicago area but have been going to the Delavan area for decades, as my ex and her family have homes on Lake Delavan and my oldest son, daughter in law and grand daughter live in the area. I'm staying in the Chicago area until my youngest son finishes high school here, but am buying a house in a rural area of Elkhorn at the end of May. When he finishes high school we'll make the move there full time. I'll be spending about half my time there and will be doing a lot of hiking, much of it in Kettle Moraine. In all the years I've been there I've seen one garter snake and a lot of deer, but no other wild life. I carry a Shield Plus with 124 grain HST +P's. Is there any reason to change that while hiking, such as venomous snakes (I've carried a revolver with snake shot for that) or other wild life I should watch for?
